SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) _ Bilal Powell ran for 145 yards, including the game-ending 19-yard touchdown in overtime, to help Bryce Petty and the New York Jets rally from 14 points down to beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 in overtime on Sunday.
Petty threw an interception on his first pass of the game and the Jets (4-9) trailed 14-0 less than 5 minutes into the game. San Francisco (1-12) led 17-3 at halftime, but fell flat after that and lost a franchise-worst 12th straight game.
Powell took over from there and scored his second TD of the game on New York's first possession of overtime after Petty's scramble and 26-yard pass to Robby Anderson put the Jets in field goal range.
Petty, who went 23 for 35 for 257 yards in his second career start , rallied the Jets back from a 17-3 deficit in the first half by leading two fourth-quarter scoring drives. New York used a 15-play, 66-yard drive to cut the deficit to 17-14 with 5:04 left when Powell bowled his way in for a 5-yard run and Petty ran in the 2-point conversion .
New York then forced a punt and Petty led the Jets 33 yards to tie the game on Nick Folk's 50-yard field goal with 38 seconds left.
Hyde ran for a career-high 193 yards and caught a TD pass, but Phil Dawson missed two field goals and San Francisco failed to score on its final eight possessions to squander a 14-point lead for the third time this season.
The game couldn't have started worse for Petty. He telegraphed a short pass to Quincy Enunwa that Jimmie Ward intercepted and returned to the New York 7. Colin Kaepernick found Hyde in the flat for the TD on the next play to give San Francisco the lead. After New York went three-and-out the next possession, San Francisco moved 81 yards on four plays with help from a 47-yard run by Hyde to set up Shaun Draughn's 4-yard run that made it 14-0 just 4:11 into the game.

President Obama has proposed in his new budget to immediately seize 14% of the accumulated overseas profits of American companies. And his budget proposes to impose a new 19% tax on any future overseas earnings of those American companies. Obama proposes to use that money to finance a new national infrastructure program for roads and bridges.
It is just a matter of paperwork for any American company with overseas business anywhere to become an Irish company with overseas business in America.
The fundamental problem with that proposal is that it is just a matter of paperwork for any American company with overseas business anywhere to become an Irish company with overseas business in America. American companies already pay taxes on overseas earnings in the countries where that money is earned. So Obama is proposing a punitive, double tax on those earnings.
It is just a matter of paperwork for any American company with overseas business anywhere to become an Irish company with overseas business in America.
If that was your company, you would reincorporate in Ireland too. Or merge with an Irish company.
Ireland maintains the lowest corporate tax rate in the world, at 12.5%. America still maintains an outdated top marginal corporate tax rate of 35%, nearly 40% with state corporate tax rates on average, the highest marginal corporate tax rate in the world.
Under Obama's proposed new tax, major American companies would start to flee America, reincorporating or merging with foreign companies to become non-American, to stop the tax thievery. The U.S. government would then have to respond with new, punishing, tax penalties to stop that. This has all already begun to happen under current law, even before Obama's new proposed tax.
The resulting, growing chaos would not be good for the American economy, or the middle class or working people.
With this new cloud over whether the American government will let any money invested in the country out of the country, the result would be a sharp decline of all investment in America, from all sources, domestic and foreign.
Why invest still more money here, when the government will not allow it to participate in international business under competitive tax burdens? Such capital investment is the foundation of new jobs, and rising wages.
This is all analogous to what happens any time the dark clouds of Marxism descend over any country. People and capital start to flee. That is why the Berlin Wall was erected when the former East Germany was under Communist control.
That is why I call Obama's new proposed tax, "the Berlin Wall tax."

Getting ready for a New Year in UAE is exciting. However, for the Internet marketer a new year often means some big changes in regards to SEO. In fact, most of the changes that are coming for 2015 have been coming about towards the end of 2014, but they are really going to take hold and control the way people market products in 2015. So this alone is going to drive marketers back to the drawing board to tune up and get ready for the new wave of changes.
Mobile content is really taking a big chunk of the search engine traffic day by day. While people may still want to hang onto the computer they have at home, when they are out and about, the first thing they do is fire up their tablet or cell phone. These two items are quickly becoming the favorite browsing tool for people all over the world and as more people are becoming tech savvy, the demand for mobile friendly sites is sure to grow.
Social media has really started to take over the way the search engines are evaluating websites. People who have had blinders on for several years now, have started to see their websites take a major toll in the search engine rankings. The reason for this major drop is a complete lack of social media factors, which is something the search engines appear to be continuing to give weight to heading into 2015.
Waiting a day or two for information is going away quickly. In fact, a lot of the analytic programs are starting to adapt to provide real time data when people come to the website. This way the marketer can get the information right away and make changes to the site to guarantee what caused the last five visitors to leave is not on the website for the next ten visitors.
Google and the other search engines will start to use speed as a factor in determining rankings. While this has been going on for quite some time, it appears the search engines are going to continue this trend of using the faster websites first and this can make it hard for the little guys with a slow host. However, the search engines like speed and the instant results, not having to wait ten minutes for a website to load.
As always, something that has been preached time and time again, content is king. Repeat that again, content is king. The search engines have really started to wise up to the old methods of spinning articles and pulling up backlinks from websites with the same article. These are nothing more than what the search engines consider duplicate content, but a quick way to get to the cellar of the search engines because they want a good user experience, not one that is filled with what ifs. To avoid any type of penalty here, provide the websites with the best content possible, even if it means outsourcing all of the work.
Fighting the old issue of twenty keywords in the article is going to pull in traffic is just stupid. The search engines, have become so refined they now know if people are keyword stuffing their information. In fact, the search engines have become so smart a lot of them are starting to look at the LSI of a website. This has been talked about by quite a few marketers in the past, but never really broached in the open forum before. With the LSI terms, the search engines are going to finally start to find the words that are associated with a topic, to help determine how the website should rank.
SHS Services an SEO company in UAE stated that Marketing on the Internet is looking towards what could be some major changes in SEO starting in 2015. These changes will be for the betterment of the user of the search engines, but can drive some of the SEO experts insane because of the changes that they may have to make. Either way, the search engines will have a great time in bouncing websites around and slapping them, but also have a good time in helping people improve their websites content so the users will have a good time on the site.

2016/17 - the season that was...Rebecca Coles sums up a tough season for Scottish winter.
The winter of 2016/17 is not going to go down in history as a vintage year for Scottish winter climbing. The hills were lean and the thaws were severe, stripping back the meagre snow and ice to bony buttresses. Despite such conditions, hard mixed routes were climbed and first ascents made. This article summarises those new routes and hard ascents and, for the mortals amongst us, the lower grade routes which were in condition during this more unusual, and hopefully rare, winter. It is not a comprehensive list, more an overview, so feel free to comment on your routes of the winter in the forums.
The winter started promisingly when a cold snap over the first weekend of November brought wintry conditions to the Highlands. During this period, Dave Almond and Helen Rennard grabbed the second ascent of Sake (VIII, 9), on Ben Nevis. Whilst, Steve Perry, Jonathan Preston and Andy Nisbet headed to Lurcher's Crag and made a first ascent of Theory of Relativity (VII, 9). Steve Perry and Andy Nisbet returned a few weeks later and added Wolfpack (VI,7) to the crag with Sarah Sigley and on Ben Nevis on the same day Adam Russell and Uisdean Hawthorn climbed Avenging Angel Direct (VIII,8) on Creag Coire na Ciste. The early cold conditions, combined with the publication of Simon Richardson's Chasing the Ephemeral, meant that enthusiasm for the forthcoming season was high. As the winter wore on one chapter became increasingly thumbed; Lean Times.
In between the thaws, when the crags were unstable, I enjoyed some of the Cairngorm classics. Climbing classics such as Finger's Ridge (IV, 4) in Coire an t'Schneada and Fallout Corner (VI,7) in Coire an Lochain, I began to find my feet on mixed climbing and embraced the mono-point. Whilst trying not to fall out of Fallout Corner, across the coire, a team were hanging off tools on a much steeper route. Guy Steven and Murdoch Jamieson were climbing the impressive Open Heart (VIII,9) a route which was also climbed by Guy Robertson and Greg Boswell this winter. A few weeks later Greg visited the Coire to put up one of the hardest new route of the winter when he and Scott Grosdanoff climbed a new line which they named Intravenous Fly Trap (X, 10).
The day after climbing Fallout Corner I headed into Coire an t'Schneada and climbed The Seam (IV, 5). My new-found enjoyment of mixed climbing was nearly destroyed when, battling off Fiacaill Ridge in increasingly violent winds, I was picked up and flung to the ground, making me sob into my goggles. Over two months later the lump on my shin is a reminder of that day. However, it did prevent me from using the alpine knee manoeuvre with my right knee for the rest of the winter, vastly improving my technique.
Other routes which were regularly climbed in the Cairngorms this season include Invernookie (III,4), Hidden Chimney (II/III), Hidden Chimney Direct (IV,5), Pot of Gold (V,6) and The Message (IV, 6) in Coire an t'Sneachda and Savage Slit (V,6), The Hoarmaster (VI, 6), Deep Throat (V, 6), Sidewinder (III, 4) and Ewen Buttress (III) in Coire an Lochain, sometimes with dubious Scottish winter climbing ethics. On Creagan Cha-no the Anvil routes were climbed early in the season and Martin Holland and Euan Whitaker added Big Boy Made Me (II,3) to the crag.
I'd hoped to climb in the Loch A'an basin this winter, and in particular, Cold Climbs' Deep Cut Chimney (IV, 5). Climbing partners and conditions didn't align for me in the end, but many others did make it to Hell's Lum to climb Deep Cut Chimney and were rewarded for their efforts. Python (V, 6) was climbed on Carn Etchachan and Steve Elliot and Ross Cowie climbed Postern (VII, 7) on the Shelterstone. Several ascents of Mitre Ridge (V, 6) on Garbh Choire of Beinn a'Bhuird were also made over the winter.
In Strathfarrar, John Mackenzie and Andrew James climbed Globetrotter (IV,4), on the North-East Face of Sgurr na Muice, of note because this new route was 280m long. Throughout the winter there were little was climbed in Lochnagar and the Southern highlands, but Stuart Mcfarlane and Brian Shackleton did manage a new route on Beinn an Lochain which they called Clockwork Orange (V,4). The reliance on ice on Creag Meagaidh meant virtually nothing was climbed there all winter.
On the West Coast the early part of the season was characterised by usually dry weather, leaving an alarming amount of tittering choss exposed above Number 2 Gully (II) on Ben Nevis as well as many routes too loose to climb. When the snow did fall, it covered ledges in useless fluff. Subsequent thaws were prolonged and severe and, in the latter part of the season, combined with heavy rain, which stripped the snow in hours, leaving the buttresses black, the burns swollen and winter climbers retreating into hiding. Despite this I remained positive about the winter, that was until someone reminded me that I'd not gone outside for 6 days straight at one point. Other, hardier, climbers were persistent in their quest for routes.
Some new routes were climbed in the Cuillin. Mike Lates and Sophie Grace Chappell put up Silver Fox (V,5) a 235m-long route in Coire Lagan early in the season and the seventh Skye Winter Festival bore five additional routes. Several weeks after the festival Michael Barnard and John MacLeod made the first winter ascent of Canopy (VI,6), a Severe chimney-line on Blaven.
In Glen Coe, the highest buttresses received the most attention which meant that crags such as Church Door Buttress on Bidean nam Bian were more popular than usual. I'd heard that the routes were climbable and walked in for a poke around. Unfortunately, I hadn't realised that it had been put on UKC. After an inadvisable casual start and, being a weekend, was confronted by a pile of bags and walking poles at the base of the routes. Flake Route (IV, 6), Flake Route Right Hand (V, 7), Crypt Route (V, 6) and Poco Loco (VII, 7) were all being climbed. We eventually got on Flake Route, not realising that many of the routes converge to all climb Raeburn's Chimney, delaying us further. We topped out in the dark.
In January, Iain Small and Helen Rennard, stalwarts of this Scottish winter season, added an excellent new line to the buttress, The Prentice (VII, 8). Iain returned in March with Simon Richardson and made a new routing excursion to this crag, Simon reporting Iain's phenomenal lead to put up The Ninety-Five Theses (IX,9) adding to Iain's impressive haul of the season. The new topo of church Door Buttress, put together by Malcolm Bass, Iain Small and Simon Yearsley, now aids climbers heading to this crag.
Elsewhere in Glen Coe, routes on the Buachaille Etive Mor were regularly climbed including Curved Ridge (II/III), (often in summer condition), as well as North Buttress (IV) and Shelf Route (V,6) when the mountain was more wintry. Dave Evans and Tim Neil gave up with winter at one point in February and climbed Agag's Groove as a rock climb in big boots, reporting that it was harder in the wet than in winter condition.
Other hard climbing in Stob Coire nan Lochan was made by Ian Parnell and Tim Emmett who were close to climbing the prized Satyr (IX,9) but were unable to climb the final pitch due to lack of conditions. The quality mixed climbing in the coire meant that, when it was frozen, it gave good climbing. Central Grooves (VII, 7), Tilt (VI, 7), Innuendo (V, 6), Evening Citizen (V,7), Intruder (VI, 7), Scabbard Chimney (V, 6) and the superb Crest Route (V, 6) were climbed regularly throughout the winter. Lower graded routes providing reliable climbing included the ever popular Dorsal Arete (III, 3) and Reaburn's Original route (IV,3), especially if the first pitch omitted when the turf wasn't frozen. For me Crest Route was the route of the season, both technical and strenuous on the second pitch and wonderfully exposed on the fourth pitch, a thoroughly worthwhile route.
Routes on the East Face of Aonach Mor remained elusive throughout the winter, little ice, large dumps of avalanche prone snow mid to late season followed by severe thaws kept people away from many of the routes. Buttress routes, easily accessible via abseil, were climbed on occasions, such as Morwind (III, 4), although this route remained lean throughout the winter and was general thought to be a grade harder, and Grooved Arete (V,6) and the Web (II/III) were also climbed. Routes on the West Face, being of more amenable grades, got ascents in viable conditions throughout the winter including Golden Oldy (II), Western Rib (III) and Daim Buttress (III).
Ben Nevis, the refuge of winter climbs long after other crags are no longer in condition, even struggled on occasions this winter. Optimistic freezing level forecasts left soggy and demoralised climbers on even the highest routes. Climbing Number 3 Gully Buttress (III) high in Coire na Ciste, the excitement of placing the first ice screw of the season was soon quashed when the freezing level shot passed us on the first pitch and the dripping buttresses soaked us before the rain soaked us again. By the time we'd finished the route, we were drenched and the thigh deep wade across the swollen Allt a'Mhuilinn was inconsequential.
Throughout the winter the main ridges of Tower Ridge (IV, 3), Castle Ridge (III), North-East Buttress (IV, 4) and Observatory Ridge (V, 4) were regularly climbed as well as Ledge Route (II) and the SW Ridge (IV, 4) and East Ridge (V, 4) of the Douglas Boulder. Periodically routes such as The Clanger (IV, 5), Cutlass (VI, 7), Wendigo (IV, 4), Faulty Towers (III) and Gargoyle Wall (VI, 6) were climbed, as well as routes on the Little Brenva Face and around Raeburn's Easy Route (II) which came into condition. Harder routes such as Sioux Wall (VIII, 8), Darth Vader (VII, 8) and The Knuckleduster (VIII,9) received several ascents. It wasn't until later in the season that routes such as Comb Gully (IV, 4) and Green Gully (IV, 3), and Glover's Chimney (III, 4) were climbable, although they didn't always taking screws.
Alan Kimber had promised to buy everyone a drink if Point Five Gully wasn't climbed by the end of the season. It was looking like it was going to be quite a party at one stage. However, he was saved from an expensive bar bill, when in late March the route was climbed on a number of occasions, Mike Pescod reporting climbing the route in great nick.
Some new routes on Ben Nevis were put up in the middle of the season including the direct finish to Babylon made by Greg Boswell, Stuart Lade and Jon Frederick which they called Hanging Garden (VII, 8) giving a very aesthetic line. With the colder weather set in from the middle of March a run of new hard mixed and thin ice routes fell in rapid succession. Iain Small continued his unstoppable run of hard first ascents by climbing The Shape Of Things To Come (IX,9) with Simon Richardson on the North Wall of Carn Dearg. They followed this feat a few days later with another new grade IX, The Ninety-Five Theses, on Church Door Buttress in Glen Coe. Then returned to Ben Nevis to climb a previously unclimbed right-hand groove to the right of From the Jaws of Defeat which they called the route Failure Is Not An Option (VIII,9) and later Tick Tock Direct (VII,7) and a yet to be named (VII,7) route. Also on Ben Nevis during this cold period, Dave MacLeod and Helen Rennard made a first ascent of CloudJumper (VIII, 9) and Greg Boswell, Adam Russell and Guy Robertson, climbed a new linkup which they called Frosty's Vigil (VIII,8).
Without a doubt this season was more challenging than most. Scottish winter is prone to frustrate, abuse and disappoint, and this winter it tested even her most faithful followers. Yet, no matter how cruel she is, like a captive sickened with Stockholm Syndrome, I look forward to the next time we meet.

Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Kiss: Hot Makeout Session Amidst Breakup Rumors
Johnny stood proud next to Amber during her big night. The Magic Mike XXL star received the 2015 Spirit of Elysium award for her years of contribution to the organization, which assists children and others by integrating creativity into their lives.
Johnny seemed so proud of Amber! The couple turned on the PDA at the event and locked lips for all to see. Plus, when they weren't kissing, they were reportedly holding hands or had their arms wrapped around each other, the Daily Mail reports. We're glad to see the couple is still going strong!
Johnny and Amber got engaged last January, and met while filming The Rum Diary in 2011. Rumors that Amber and Johnny called it quits surfaced in December, and it was reported that Amber and co-star Channing Tatum were super flirty even off-camera while on the Magic Mike set!
However, we're glad to know the breakup rumors are put to rest, because we love Johnny and Amber together.

Beams of light sighted all over the world
There have been reports across the globe of beams of light shooting down from the sky. But what exactly is it? Is it an illusion? A sign of extra-terrestrial life? Photoshop?
These beams of light have been spotted before all around the world, but never have there been so many reports come in around the same time frame.
What is the cause of this mysterious phenomenon and why is it occurring so often?
Images capturing the beams of light have flooded in from all around the world including Mexico, the United States and Italy.
The latest images have come from South Fort Myers, Florida, on the 15th of August, and from Civitavecchia, Italy, on the 10th of August.
The photos have been analyzed on photo forensics and they don't seem to have been Photoshopped.
However, many of the beams on the images have been confirmed as being from a camera glitch caused by the rolling shutter catching a strip of the image illuminated by a flash. Basically, one slice of the image was captured with flash, and the rest without.
But why did so many photos just all of a sudden appear and send the world's conspiracy theorists into a frenzy?
Well one of the images went viral, which led to other people with the similar images sharing their photos online too.
So while some photos were captured years ago, some have only just been posted online leading some people to believe the beams of light are all occurring around the same time.
The beam of light over the Kukulkan Pyramid photographed by Hector Siliezar in 2009 is what initially set this off, but it didn't actually really gain any attention until a few years later.
So conspiracy theorists and skeptics can relax, it was merely a dodgy camera shutter causing the extra-terrestrial like effect. Phew!

Funded by the Open Society Foundations (2012-2013), the Wings of Hope project will test the feasibility and preliminary effects of the Women Initiating New Goals for Safety (WINGS) intervention, which was designed to increase the identification of intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender-based violence (GBV), and improve outreach to services among women drug users in Kyrgyzstan.
On going research will be facilitated by the Global Health Center of Central Asia (GHRCCA) and two Local NGOS. Based at Columbia University, GHRCCA integrates a multidisciplinary team of faculty, scientists, researchers, and students committed to advancing solutions to health and social issues in Central Asia and the surrounding region. Intervention research will be mostly conducted by
This study also aims to build the capacity of local NGOs to collect systematic de-identified data on IPV/GBV and use the data to advocate for more effective policies and programs to redress the widespread problem.
Activities will include the adaptation of an IPV/GBV screening, a brief intervention and referral service (WINGS intervention to Wings of Hope) using data collected from focus groups and key informants. Staff from two local NGOs in the capital of Bishkek will be trained to deliver the intervention, and collect systematic data using DatStat Management Systems. The effectiveness of the intervention during this pilot will be evaluated as we examine organizational factors that impede or facilitate the delivery of intervention to inform a future larger scale implementation study.
Formative work in Bishkek (Osha and Kara-Suu), Kyrgyzstan captured stories of extreme risk and alienation due to substance dependency, trauma, and resulting shame and secrecy related to gender-based violence. Focus group participants shared common stories of vulnerability both within intimate partnerships and from the authorities that are meant to protect and serve them. A university professor tearfully shared her personal experience as a victim of IPV and the assumed rule of secrecy, "We [in academia] are supposed to be immune to these kinds of problems." Distrust and fear of reprisal following their abuse often keeps women seeking assistance from other women in the community.
By working directly with the community's key stakeholders, GHRCCA has been able to simultaneously advocate for screening of gender-based violence within a new protocol being initiated in prenatal care settings, using a multidisciplinary team to serve women of child bearing age involved with substances.

Celtic 0 AC Milan 3: Balotelli and Kaka on the scoresheet as Bhoys exit Europe
It was, in the end, decidedly one-sided. A savage and clinical reminder of the gulf in quality and resources which separates the Champions League aristocrats from the proletariat.
For Celtic there will be no repeat of last season's run to the last 16. Not even the comfort blanket provided by Europa League football after Christmas.
There will be a third successive Scottish league title but for the nation's last remaining European representatives a nuclear winter now awaits.
On target: AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli celebrates after scoring his side's third goal of the game

A long, bitter period of
recrimination will ask questions of the players signed in the summer. A
transfer policy widely lauded in recent seasons has delivered healthy
profits but was found wanting against a Milan team in the midst of their
worst start to a domestic season in 32 years.
'We have to improve the squad we have now and we have to improve our recruitment from this year,' said Celtic boss Neil Lennon.
'We do have some money and we want to spend it, preferably in the January window.
'January is a difficult period to
bring players in but we need to do that with next summer and the
qualification play-offs in mind.
'We competed, we competed again
tonight, but that quality at the top end of the pitch has caught up with
us this season. Some of the players have covered themselves in glory
and been fantastic through the campaign but it's been mainly the
defensive end of the pitch we're talking about here.'
But even in defence, Celtic lacked quality.
Milan were a team without a win in
seven games, without an away win all season, with a coach on the brink
and a support baying for blood.
However, they were also a team which
swept into the lead in 13 minutes with a goal of unforgiveable ease and
from that instant, they never looked back.
For Celtic the crossing was poor,
there was a lack of penetration in the final third and the lack of a
natural goalscorer has reaped a pitiful harvest of two goals in five
Group H games.
Yet the greatest problems last night
lay at the back. All three of Milan's goals were conceded in slipshod
circumstances. A club built on charitable foundations, the home side
took their historical origins to heart.
They were a goal down to a header from the imperious Kaka in 13 minutes.
The Brazilian is 31 now but played
here like a teenager in the first flush. He was sensational, earning his
ovation from the Celtic supporters as he left the field 10 minutes from
In the air: AC Milan midfielder Kaka (left) heads his side into the lead at Celtic Park
Arms up: Kaka celebrates after giving the visitors the early advantage
Tough night: Celtic's manager Neil Lennon holds his head in his hands as he watches his side slump to defeat
Woe: Celtic players stand dejected as the Glasgow side crash out of Europe
The generosity of the hosts was a
theme of the night. The space he was accorded to nod Valter Birsa's
corner down and into the net was alarming.
Still, Celtic might have made a game
of it at the beginning of the second half when the match swung on a
critical interlude. It was a sliding doors moment.
One which will have defender Virgil van Dijk tossing and turning in bed for days.
Chasing the quick second half
equaliser which would rouse supporters and rattle Milan, Charlie
Mulgrew's free kick from 20 yards struck the wall. Mulgrew swiflty
looped the rebound towards a completely unmarked van Dijk eight yards
from goal.
The Dutchman had only to guide the
ball either side of the keeper and Celtic were level. He had all the
time in the world to pick his spot. One of the few summer signings to
distinguish himself, you'd have fancied his chances.
He may have been one of Celtic's best
players, but this wasn't his finest night at either end of the pitch
and he thrashed a hurried volley straight into the arms of Christian
Abbiati. His team-mates held their head in their hands and Milan
breathed again.
Head down: Mario Balotelli scores the third goal for AC Milan past Celtic and England keeper Fraser Forster
Celebration: Balotelli looks towards the crowd as he is congratulated by his Milan team-mates
Tap in: AC Milan's Cristian Zapata (right) scores his side's second goal of the game
Hugs all round: AC Milan's Cristian Zapata (left) celebrates after scoring his side's second goal
Disallowed: Celtic's Virgil Van Dijk (left) heads into the net but his goal is ruled out for offside
Close shave: Celtic's James Forrest (2nd from right) watches as his shot goes narrowly wide
Massimiliano Allegri's side swept up
the park and won a corner. Celtic should have learned their lesson from
the opening goal, but once again a Birsa set piece created chaos,
picking out an unmarked Riccardo Montolivo at the back post.
His header across the face of goal
badly needed a Celtic boot but landed perfectly for Cristian Zapata to
prod home with embarrassing ease from six yards. The game was over, the
hosts utterly deflated.
A team more accustomed to inflicting
damage from set-pieces, this was a night when they fell victim to
successive muggings. One when good fortune was utterly absent.
When Derk Boerrigter did head into
the net in 50 minutes the assistant referee's flag intervened. It was
that kind of night, one when little or nothing would go Celtic's way.
Lennon selected a team designed to attack, a team selected to compensate for their obvious achilles heel and the loss of last season's top scorer Gary Hooper.
Incoming: Celtic's Giorgos Samaras jumps over AC Milan's Daniele Bonera to head the ball
On the ball: Milan's Kaka (right) is chased by Virgil van Dijk
Arms length: Celtic's Derk Boerrigter (right) holds off Ignazio Abate
Yet the truth is this: the loss of
Hooper and Victor Wanyama has weakened this Celtic team. The evidence is
there for all to see.
They managed their best spell in the
first 10 minutes, Boerrigter failing to turn a Mulgrew corner in at the
back post and Beram Kayal scuffing a terrific chance from 16 yards
harmlessly wide.
As Lennon put it afterwards, it was
symptomatic of the campaign. Last season, Celtic created few chances and
took them all. This season they have created plenty and wasted them.
Not so Milan. With the opening goal,
the game changed. A team unable to buy a win in Serie A puffed out their
chests and found a swagger in their boots.
As Celtic flailed and thrashed around
seeking a way back into the game the visitors looked capable of killing
the game – the campaign - dead at any point.
This is the move which led to Mario Balotelli's goal. Click here for your ultimate stats guide with our fantastic Match Zone

Familiar face: AC Milan legend Filippo Inzaghi takes his place in the stands at Celtic Park
In the first half Kaka's lightning
quick breakaway and surging run ended in a lay-off for Mario Balotelli,
who thrashed the ball over the crossbar from 20 yards. Kaka was the
player to whom the eye was magnetically drawn. He struck a quite superb
right foot effort just inches past the left-hand post of Fraser Forster
from 25 yards.
A decent chance for an equaliser fell
to Mulgrew on his favoured left foot in 36 minutes after some tenacious
scuffling from Commons. Surrounded by Milan defenders, the Scotland
midfielder sidefooted a feeble, powerless effort from 15 yards straight
at Abbiati.
And from a Celtic perspective it was
almost the tale of the night. Van Dijk's golden opening after half-time
demonstrated the cruel, savagery of Europe's premier competition.
In the end Milan settled for three,
Balotelli slipping an easy finish past Forster after a long route one
Montolivo ball prompted more defending of the Keystone Cops variety.
Celtic could have little complaint. They can be grateful for small mercies. In seeking the cause of their Champions League demise a large mirror is all that's required.

Feel the rush of battle, the awe of exploration, and the exhilaration of imaginary futures and recreated pasts.

With Version 1511 of Windows 10 (build 10586, codename TH2 or Threshold 2), we released a few improvements and fixes to Adaptive Tile Templates. And now, the Notifications Visualizer app has been updated (version 22.214.171.124) to reflect the changes in the new OS update!
Instantly flip between Version 1511 and Windows 10 RTM
Using the Visualizer, you can compare how your tile looks on the latest Version 1511 update and the original Windows 10 RTM version. This is helpful if you want to use some new adaptive features that we added, but still want to understand how your tile will look for users who haven't updated yet.
To change builds, go to the "Settings" page and notice the new "OS build number" option. You can select from build 10586 (Version 1511) or 10240 (RTM).
You will get full error/warning reporting and instant visual previews for each of the two builds of Windows. For example, in RTM, peek images did not support circle cropping. When you have 10240 selected, you'll get a warning telling you that it's not supported, and the normal square peek image will be displayed. When you have 10586 selected, there's no warning and the peek displays as a circle.

Pre-conference workshops. Have you ever tried them? Did you get value out of them? We've shared before the ways you can judge the value of insight & analytics conferences before committing. With more pre-conference content marketing, it's more & more possible to select the events that will provide the expertise & themes you seek.

Want to know what the other insurance marketers are doing?
"Insurance Marketing & Distribution Summit Europe 2015" proved to be a great event. There were interesting speakers, a range of topics & plenty of opportunity for interaction. Plus, it was a pleasure to share with this group myself, more on that later.

Poll results: Conduct Risk and Insight Gaps
Thanks to those of you who participated in our short survey on use of Customer Insight to mitigate & report on your conduct risks to the FCA. Our interim results suggest there are quite a few gaps still out there, with more work to be done by FS firm Customer Insight teams. Here's a quick summary of the findings so far from Customer Insight Leaders across Financial Services…
Can Customer Insight mitigate Conduct Risk?
In light of the largest fine the FCA (or FSA) have ever issued, more and more FS firms are taking a closer look at their wider Conduct Risk management. Most have the required minimum of MI in place. Most CEOs say the right customer centric words with regards to strategy or culture. However, recent work with clients tells me that many firms recognise they still have some way to go, especially in.. Read More

I love the responsibilities that go along with running a smooth and efficient orthodontic practice. Our Ortho Team is always upbeat, and our patients are our #1 priority. I have always been a people person, enjoying the company of our patients and thrill of making them smile. Since my arrival in 1994, I have felt a profound sense of pride knowing that I am a part of something that improves people's lives. I have watched many of our patients grow into beautiful people, inside and out. I feel privileged to work for Dr. Nagel, a man who has been a positive influence in this community for over 30 years.
I was a patient of Dr. Nagel's before I came to work here. In fact, his enthusiasm for orthodontia and his genuine regard for his patients initially attracted me to pursue working here professionally. Since joining the team in 2002, I have shared in the joy of creating beautiful, lasting smiles. Most of what I do is administrative – scheduling appointments and ensuring smooth patient flow – while enjoying the relational atmosphere of a family practice. First and foremost though, I am a mom and wife. So, when I am not at the office, I am with my wonderful family.
When I was presented with the opportunity to work at Nagel Orthodontics with the front office staff, it was an offer I could not pass up! Nagel Orthodontics provides such a fun-loving, professional work environment where patient care is the main priority, making it such a different experience than when I was a child in braces. Being a part of Team Ortho really means a lot to me because it is allowing me to play a role in making YOUR orthodontic treatment memorable! When patients leave our office grinning from ear to ear with complete satisfaction, I take pride in knowing that I helped put that smile on their face! When I am not here at the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and hanging out with my friends.
I have been in this field since 1972, but I joined Team Ortho in 1988. The popularity of Dr. Nagel's practice makes for a fun and fast-paced work environment. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of providing efficient, quality patient care. My responsibilities include pouring and finishing models, as well as making and repairing orthodontic appliances. During my free time, I ride and show AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) horses; my favorite classes are Western Horsemanship and Trail.
I have always been interested in the dental field, and working here at Nagel Orthodontics has given me that opportunity. Before I moved to the United States, I earned my bachelor's degree in educational science in Iran. With this degree, I worked as an elementary school teacher. When I moved to the U.S., I continued teaching as a substitute. When the job arose at Nagel Orthodontics, I was very eager and excited to begin. Working here has given me a lot of great experience in the dental field. I am working on earning my Registered Dental Assistant license and hope to have that in the near future.
I began working for Nagel Orthodontics in May 2014. I attended Bryman College, became an RDA in 1995, and have loved working in the field ever since. I began working for a general dentist and later moved to orthodontics after five years. I have two sons who are currently pursuing their college degrees. I enjoy hiking, walking along the beach, and traveling around the world. I've been married for 31 years to my loving husband. I love working with our patients, and it is a pleasure to work for such wonderful doctors. I love to see all our patients leave with a bright smile.
I have been interested in the dental field ever since I can remember, and my love for orthodontics bloomed once I experienced braces for myself! My passion for orthodontics allows me to give each and every patient that walks through our door the BEST possible experience so that they may enjoy and love their smile as much as I do. When I'm not assisting chairside or cracking jokes and laughing with my patients here at Nagel Orthodontics, you can find me with my toes in the sand at our beautiful beaches accompanied by my dog child, Fynn!
I have been in the orthodontic field since 1997. I started off as a Sterilizer Operator and that peaked my interest in learning to assist and create beautiful smiles, so I continued working and received my license as a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) in 2001. I started working for Nagel Orthodontics in March 2016, and my experience with Drs. Norman and Jeffrey Nagel has been amazing. Nagel Orthodontics extends a warm, family-friendly atmosphere not only among the staff members, but with our patients as well. I admire the way both doctors approach their patients, with a smile and kindness. They are always professional. I'm looking forward to meeting and working with all current and future patients, building confidence with every visit as we create not only a beautiful smile, but great memories along the way. When I'm not with my work family, you'll find me spending time with my three children. We love spending time outdoors, dining out, and hitting the movies on our down time!
When I was 14 years old, I walked into an orthodontic office for the very first time. I began treatment with full braces that day, and from then on, I became fascinated with the whole process. It was then that I realized I wanted to pursue a career in the dental field. After living and working all over the world in places such as the UK, South Africa and Australia, I returned home and attended school to become a dental assistant. During my time in school, I was fortunate enough to intern at Nagel Orthodontics. Upon completion of school and my internship, I was given the wonderful opportunity to join Team Ortho! It's been such a pleasure working with the doctors, team and most of all, our wonderful patients.
I began working at Nagel Orthodontics in October 2016 to gain work experience. I recently graduated from high school, and I'm happy to say that Nagel Orthodontics is my very first job, and I'm loving it! Everyone welcomed me with open arms, and I'm happy to be part of the team. Here at the office, I'm in charge of the sterilization lab. I make sure that all of the instruments are ready for the assistants to utilize on our patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog, Ky, as well as spending time with family and friends.
Dentistry has always been a passion of mine since I was younger. Starting as a patient of Dr. Nagel's and continuing as an employee, I have nothing but love for this amazing Ortho Team. Nagel Orthodontics provides a professional and friendly experience, leaving our patients with bright, satisfied smiles. I graduated from UC Irvine in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and a minor in Management. I will be attending dental school in fall 2017. I'm looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful patients during the time I'm here at Nagel Orthodontics.

Gerry amazed me with his ability to watch 24+ swimmers at the same time and give each person individualized instruction and keep everyone performing at a level that was both fun and challenging. When I started his Masters Swim program at UCLA I was out of shape and concerned with my ability to keep up with the group during workouts. I started in my 50s and am now in better shape at 63 than I was in my 40s. Gerry is warm, friendly and focused – a great combination in a coach and teacher.

On Wednesday 10 February I joined over 160 other MPs and Kevin Whateley at the launch of Alzheimer's Society's new campaign Fix Dementia Care which calls for improvements in hospital care for people living with dementia.
MPs gathered in Westminster to call for greater transparency across the NHS following an Alzheimer's Society investigation which found too many people with dementia are falling while in hospital, being discharged at night or being marooned in hospital despite their medical treatment having finished.
Good hospital care for people with dementia should never be a throw of the dice – yet in some hospitals people are routinely experiencing the consequences of poor care.
The campaign is making the following recommendations to fix dementia care:
All hospitals to publish an annual statement of dementia care, which includes feedback from patients with dementia, helping to raise standards of care across the country
The regulators, Monitor and the Care Quality Commission to include standards of dementia care in their assessments
Please sign up to the Fix Dementia Care campaign at www.alzheimers.org.uk/fixhospitalcare

Product Description
Bianco Carrara marble is easily the most recognizable marble in the world and certainly one of the most popular.
Essentially white with gentle grey nuances swirling throughout, it's one of the lighter marbles available in the market. In fact, its lightness of hue is what makes it so universally appealing – it's like walking on clouds. That and how easily it can compliment both contemporary and traditional designs.
White blends well with virtually any colour scheme and gives a living space that desirable open and airy feeling. And the gentle veining inherent within allows Carrara marble to strike a subtle pose that is no less visually stunning for being understated.
Please contact our marble tile experts for prices. Mainland Tile carries Bianco Carrara marble in both of the popular C & CD varieties.

Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?
This question is always fun… Some may say "it's all about outcomes", some say "it's all about getting new clients in the door"! Which came first, the chicken or the egg???
Usually, I'll find that the people actually providing the golf fitness services will swear that it's ALWAYS the chicken – or about the outcomes you've gotten with your current clients. You know… the satisfied client gets you more referrals and becomes your spokesperson and on and on and on and blah,blah,blah (guess you can already tell that I'm on the side of the egg). The marketing person feels that they can always do better by INCREASING the number of spokespeople by putting time into "Getting New Clients". So which comes first??? You will have to decide on that for yourself!
When I converse with my trainer friends they tend to (almost always) put all their time towards learning how to provide better golf fitness training programs and services for the clients they FINALLY get. There is nothing wrong with continuing education in your fitness training field, and there are an unlimited amount of resources for you to accumulate this wealth of knowledge. Since my world is that of the professional marketer, for the purpose of today's tip, we're going to speak about the egg coming first, or how to get the client in so you can perform your expert golf fitness services to help them achieve "outcomes".
Whenever I'm teaching the class "How to Get New Clients" most of the participants tell me they would love to just "help people reach their health and fitness goals" (in other words, "I would love to save the world"). The response I give them is that although this is a noble cause, would it be so wrong that you also learn how to bring new clients in the door AND price your services so YOU can actually make a good living while accomplishing your initial fitness goal of helping people? If you can pay your overhead AND make a comfortable income in the process, wouldn't you be in position to help even MORE people achieve outcomes and become healthier.
Now let's get to the point: There are plenty of courses to improve your golf fitness training skills… so now it's time to find resources that actually help you get a prospect to want to become your client! While going to school for your training, how many of those fitness, health, physical therapy, chiropractic or massage therapy majors included a course in marketing, or in sales? I'm sure you will find the answer to be that it is probably a very small percentage. Therefore, find the right people and courses that can help you learn to "close" the prospect that is right in front of you, into a great client who will want your services for a long time. The better you are at the close, the faster you will become successful in your golf fitness business.
What you can learn from great marketing and sales people is absolutely invaluable to your golf fitness business. For example: If you are stretching golfers at a local charity event., What EXACT words would you actually use to get the prospect to ASK YOU questions about your services rather than feeling like they are being grilled by your sales "pitch". Or, what questions are YOU asking to control the conversation rather than allowing the prospect to control the conversation; successfully prying ALL your valuable knowledge for FREE… therefore they'll never need your services!
Final Tip: Get yourself some training on how to have the prospect WANT to use your services!
Bonus: Win a FREE half hour personal consultation for your golf fitness business!
All you need to do is contribute to these tips by asking Fran a question about how to help your golf fitness business grow, or by contributing success stories of your golf fitness business growth. Every contributor's name for each month will be entered into a monthly drawing. Every month, three (3) contributors will be picked out of a hat to win the FREE consultation. So let's all join in and help this industry grow by helping each other… and good luck in the drawing!

Remember: JUST DO IT!

That being said, I noted an interesting trend in my statistics during the month of October. One of my posts from last year - "Halloween Status Update" - got hits up the wazoo. Now, not only is that post from last year - it's also nothing to get excited about. Granted, I discussed a very important medical condition known as "eyeball-a-phobia", while also ruminating on the social risks of passing out coconut candy at your child's Halloween preschool parade. But still, there's nothing earth shattering or life changing in that post.
So why is it so popular, I wondered.
And then it hit me. It's because of the title. Apparently there were tons of people out there in the month of October searching for funny or witty or interesting Halloween status updates to put on their facebook or twitter pages. And instead they just got a case study about eyeball-a-phobia. Which, albeit fascinating, was not what the people wanted, apparently.
Well, I am a woman of the people, people. And I give the people what they want. Once I figure it out thirteen months later.
So, without further ado, I've posted below a list of suggested funny, witty, and/or interesting Thanksgiving Status Updates that you all may pilfer for your facebook or twitter pages throughout the month of November.
- Gobble, gobble!
- Turkey smells great!
- I'm so thankful for [insert something to be thankful for here]. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
- Oh, the Macy's Day Parade was so awesome this year! That darn Snoopy balloon!
- Has anyone ever heard of a "Turducken?" It's a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey OMG!
- Oh my God, so full!
I know, I know. You're all shocked that I'm just giving away these fabulous Thanksgiving status updates free of charge. But we all need to give back once in awhile. You know what they say..."'Tis the season!" (Wait - I need to save that one for December).

Our daily roundup of retirement news your clients may be thinking about.
Why more flexible retirement jobs are on the way
Workers and employers stand to benefit from a phased retirement, a flexible schedule that allows employees to work part-time for a while before going on full retirement, according to Money. However, based on a report from the Aegon Center for Longevity and Retirement, only 25% of American workers aged 55 and older claim that their employer offers such an arrangement, with only 4% of them saying their employer provides a retraining. --Money
Don't be dogmatic about retirement-portfolio withdrawals
When tapping their retirement portfolios, clients often receive advice to sequence the withdrawals, starting with required minimum distributions from retirement accounts and taxable accounts before spending away tax-sheltered accounts, writes Christine Benz of Morningstar. However, getting dogmatic about withdrawal sequencing is a mistake, Benz argues. "The reason is that your tax picture will change from year to year based on your expenses, your available deductions, your investments' performance, and your RMDs, among other factors." --Morningstar
3 retirement lifestyle mistakes to avoid
Newly retired clients are advised to resist the temptation of buying expensive properties in the early years of their retirement as these purchases could be a mistake and put a dent on their future finances, according to U.S. News & World Report. Buying vacation homes, recreational vehicles and timeshares can be avoided as there are options that offer the same level of enjoyment and satisfaction to retirees. For instance, renting a vacation home or a luxurious car will allow retirees to evade maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with owning these properties. --Yahoo Finance
One simple financial move clients can make in a month
Clients need to start building their nest eggs early to avoid a financial shortfall in retirement, according to Forbes. They are advised to make enough contributions to their 401(k) plan to get their employer match and increase their savings rate by 1%. A 35-year-old client who earns $50,000 annually and contributes to a 401(k) plan can expect about $344,000 more in her retirement funds at age 65 if she boosts her deferral by 1%. --Forbes
Plan as if you'll live as longer than Abe Vigoda
Clients who expect to live through their 90s need to have a solid financial plan to ensure they won't outlive their nest eggs, according to MarketWatch. They need to make wise decisions involving their Social Security and pensions and avoid increasing their allocation to bond investments. They also need to plan for their required minimum distributions to minimize the tax bite and consider investing more money to allow it to grow through compounding. --MarketWatch
Financial fitness: Saving in the age of Instagram
Clients are likely to have better financial prospects in retirement if they start building their nest eggs early in their careers, according to Nasdaq. Three hypothetical retirement savings scenarios with different saving schedules, growth rates and salary increases are used to show that regular contributions to retirement accounts grew over time as a result of compounding. --Nasdaq
